It featured a more powerful engine, electric heating and both air and vacuum train brakes.<\/p><p>These locomotives were ordered in two variations, and were to become the standard diesel locomotive of the Southern Region. 98 were built in all, the two initial versions were identical other than that twelve of them were built to the Hastings gauge, i.e. some 8\u00bd narrower.<\/p><p>Later on nineteen locomotives were modified to operate with the \u201cEMU\u201d type vehicles that were had been ordered for the 1967 Bournemouth electrification. These locomotives would take over at Bournemouth and take the front portion of a service that had come from Waterloo and take it forward to Weymouth. On the return it would push the same set back to Bournemouth, but being driven from the cab on that unit. This situation remained in place until electrification on the route to Weymouth.<\/p><p>The versatility of this system also allowed workings to Salisbury and the Clapham Junction. &#8211; Kensington service. It also allowed the Southern to use them on a few special workings of the Southern Region.<\/p><p>This meant that in theory these modified locomotives could work in multiple with any of the Southern Region EMUs.<\/p><p>D6535 eventually passed to English Welsh and Scottish Railway Company who used it for parcels and freight work, it was withdrawn by them after a shunting mishap. It was around this time it was designated by the Heritage committee as worthy of adding to the National Collection.<\/p><p>The loco languished at Old Oak Common depot in London, where the weather took its toll.<\/p><p><strong>Allocations<\/strong><\/p><p>Hither Green (1960 &#8211; 1964), Eastleigh (1964 &#8211; 1987), Stewarts Lane (1987 &#8211; 1987), Eastleigh (1987 &#8211; 1994), Stewarts Lane (1994 &#8211; ?), Eastleigh (? &#8211; 1998), Old Oak Common (1998 &#8211; 2005)<\/p><p><strong>Built<\/strong><\/p><p>Built by Birmingham Railway Carriage &amp; Wagon in 1960.
